Earth or late summer
Tera is primarily considered a variant of Terra, the Latin word for earth or land. In some contexts, it is also associated with the Greek name Theresa, which is often interpreted as meaning 'to harvest' or 'late summer'. It gained modest popularity in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s but remains a rare choice today.
